Brief Biography

Specialising in 20th-century music history, Jonathan Goldman is Assistant Professor of Musicology at the School of Music of the University of Victoria. Editor-in-Chief of the journal Circuit, musiques contemporaines, he completed undergraduate studies in philosophy and mathematics at McGill University. He went on to earn an M.A. and PhD from the Université de Montréal under the direction of Jean-Jacques Nattiez, with a dissertation which deals with form in the thought and works of French composer Pierre Boulez. Dr. Goldman wrote the preface to Leçons de musique (2005), a collection of Boulez's writings published in France by Christian Bourgois. He is currently working on a book on Boulez scheduled to be published by Cambridge University Press. He is also interested in the history of analytical practices and is a member of the research team "Mise en tableau/Écoute segmentée" at IRCAM (Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique) in Paris. Jonathan Goldman also performs on the accordion and the bandoneon, focussing on tango repertoire; in 2002, an arrangement he made of an orchestral piece by Astor Piazzolla was published by Éditions Henry Lemoine.
